First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

You don't know funk until you've heard this magnificent Shakedown. Out of Playin', a rare and special treat

To add on to Bcarters comment, there is a lovely medley around 8-11 min into Dark Star where they flow from MLB jam>Other One jam>DS first verse. Very cool indeed
